It is usually only for the expensive seats ie first 2 price classes. I got two tickets on floor that are CC check to get the ticket and 2 others that are print at home, ready right now.
This whole process has been fun and disappointing to watch with reaction on twitter and here. People complaing at 10:05 show is sold out and conspiracy theories. Each transaction to confirm tickets has a max time of 13 min to complete if you add all the steps time allotments. Also anyone can post on Stub Hub without having the tickets in their hand already. Happens all the time with people and Season Tickets. The write up usually says tickets avaialbale at 'this date' for download or mail out.
Last point is each pre-sale has an alloted amount throughout any venue ie: Amex 10%, Fan Club 17%, gen public 40%, etc. Just cause they are out of pre sale for these two days does not mean the whole show is sold out. There are 6 pre and sale categories for these shows.
It will be a great last tour for the band. Hope not 'last shows' put can almost guarantee last tour.
Enjoy everyone!

I think there is genuine reason to be peeved with Ticketmaster. It used to be just release tickets at X time and go from there.
Now the tickets seem to be released in a way that most forces people into purchasing their platinum tickets at above face value. Tickets did become available via the pre-sale but at odd times and sometimes 1/2 hour later.
Some people are taking time out of their workday to do this. They may be able to set aside 10 mins, but no 1 hour.
The whole system reeks right now.
